Ascendance of a Bookworm - Chapter 323

Looking at the castle’s children’s room, I was going to relax, but the days when I couldn’t afford it started.

There are so many meeting requests that Richard and Otelier and the guardian priest must desperately share, all of which are requests from nobility who want to be involved in the printing and paper industries.

Leave the nobility to be met to the priests, and I will go to a tea party with my foster mother and Charlotte while being pulled by my mother.

There, I was asked about printing, asked about the compression of magic, and my husband and family were selling, and it seemed that my eyes would turn.

And, as I knew for the first time, after the tea party, my mother and my foster mother seemed to have had a reflection meeting, and I and Charlotte decided to participate in the study of information gathering.

Talk about the topics and rumors that were flying at the tea party, and summarize what you want to know in detail.

“Rose Mine, Charlotte, who are you curious about?”

“I was surprised that there was a lot of talk about older sisters. The atmosphere was very different from last year …”

Charlotte responded, but I couldn’t answer immediately when asked by my foster mother. The name doesn’t match the face of the aristocrat who still attended.

“Your face and your name don’t match, so I can’t tell you more about it, but the method of compressing magic has become a hot topic. There seems to be a lot of hope, but it has been adjusted. Are you there? ”



“Well, there are a few who are in good condition with Rosemine’s approval. How was the Villefried and his close performers at the Aristocratic House?”

The foster mother is still worried about Villefleet. Let me tell you that I was struggling to put together my dormitory.

“With regard to Mr. Wilfried, I think it will be a big turning point for what will happen to the tea party between Ahrensbach and Frederberg lord candidates.”

“I’m worried. Did you say Dietrinde? Is Arlensbach’s lord candidate like a green-eyed blonde with a look similar to Georgine-sama? In other words, Veronica who loved her It ’s very similar ”

“Is that so?”

I didn’t know it because I had never met Veronica, but it looks like a blonde with green eyes. Recalling Villefried’s nostalgic look at his first meeting with Dietlinde, his anxiety increases as his foster mother says.

“I’m sure it’s okay. I’ve talked about the topic and it seems that Ferdinand has become able to write and exchange questions.”

When I said so and comforted my foster mother, this time my mother exhaled a sigh.

“I’m worried about Lamprecht. I wasn’t granted permission to marry Ahrensbach’s senior aristocrats?” It is good if you are not blamed. ”

It seems that Veronica was alive and was encouraged to interact with Ahrensbach during the time that Mr. Lamplecht was enrolled in the Aristocracy. It is not uncommon for the flow of the times to change, and the lack of permission from the lords seems to be the most refusal way of refusing to cross a territory. In order to convince the other party that it has not changed their mind, it seems that it is essential to do everything in good faith.

“Ahrensbach was better than Ehrenfest, and I was surprised that Ahrensbach was biting down because I heard that her parents were n’t willing to associate with Lamprecht. The next lord meeting is going to be rough ”

“Frebel Turk’s older brothers will also ask for help, so we have to work out measures”

“Is there any discussion about dealings between territories? Rosemein is a superior territory for the royal family with whom we interacted …. There’s too little information.”

… I’m sorry. I didn’t think that Ehrenfest had that much information, and I was told to spread the trend, so I just spread it.

“But because my sister wakes up and understands that the story about magic compression and the printing industry goes on, I feel that the faction’s momentum has become stronger than last year.”

“As Charlotte says, we need to join this faction, so we can’t know about magic compression, so middle and lower nobility gather to try to join one after another.”

I can’t compare because I don’t know last year, but the faction faction seems to be growing.

“It’s important to show off the umami that comes with your friends, Rosemine”

My mother smiles and smiles.

In this way, while being teased at the tea party of the woman who was invited, I was taught how to collect information, organize it, and give instructions to the civilian to gather more information. Charlotte is said to have to do the same at Noble House next year, and listens with a serious face. I am inspired when I can’t lose as an older sister.

“Rose Mine, you can get as much information as possible at the Tea Ceremony of the Aristocracy, and report it like this. I want as much information as possible before the lord meeting.”

“… I heard that I’m back on the verge of territorial competition, but are you able to afford a tea party?”

The priest told me that my social skills were low, so I wouldn’t return to the aristocracy until the last minute. The territorial competition is at the end of the school year, so I don’t think I can afford to have a tea party with the chief.

“Wouldn’t it be better for Rosemine to return early in preparation for a territorial battle?”

“… Ferdinand-sama has shown difficulty but is it okay?”

Mothers looked at their faces and pressed their temples at the same time. I apologized firmly in my heart for my trouble.

…… I’m sorry for the child who has no common sense of nobility. I’ll do it next time!

As soon as I held my fist that I would do my best as my mother told me, I felt that the voice of the priest could be heard in the corner of my head saying, “If you do it, you will not be fooled.”

And, a meeting with a nobleman who has received permission from the chief priest begins. I heard that there are many aristocrats requesting permission to open a paper industry workshop, but the number that can actually be opened is limited. This is because not many people can be dispatched as teachers.

“How many workshops can Rosemine make from spring to autumn?”

I was called by the chief priest who seemed to have finished selecting the letters for the visit request, and I received a question to increase the workshop.

“With regard to the printing workshop, it is impossible this year because Gutenberg has to be moved, installed and technically licensed after all parts of the printing press are made at Ehrenfest. I will head to Haldenzell in the spring and I have not asked Gutenberg to make a new press. ”

Fumu

Regarding the printing workshop, it is necessary to decide the order in which it will be made, discuss it in advance in the same way as Haldenzell, and prepare for acceptance in the blacksmith workshop, woodwork workshop, and commercial guild. ,It can not be helped. The only thing you can do this year is to decide the order you want to go.

“As we don’t know the details of what is necessary for the advance preparations without asking the Gibe Haldenzell or Printemps Chamber of Commerce, the nobility who wants to make a printing workshop will be postponed and will meet with the nobility who wants to make a papermaking workshop first. I want to do it. ”

“Isn’t there a limited number of them?”

“Limited, but the number may change depending on the case”

In order to create a paper mill, one person must be dispatched from the Printemps Chamber of Commerce in order to create the Ehrenfest Paper Association on that land, and a teacher who will show the actual process is also required. There are not so many people from Printemps Shokai, and there are not many gray priests who can serve as teachers. Even if people are dispatched from the workshops of Hasse and Irkner, they will only be able to open workshops in three territories a year.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to increase the number a little more if we just teach how to make paper at a certain ratio, instead of making a special product by sitting down slowly over a year like Irkner. Considering the movement of Printemps Shokai and the role of teachers, there is not much that can be increased. “

If you want to make a new paper with the materials on the land, it will take a lot of time, but if you just teach the existing ratio and how to make it, it will not be so difficult. However, there may be many aristocrats who want special products for differentiation.

“You can do your own research, etc.”

I gave up my shoulders to the chief priest who said that it would be more fun.

…… Mad scientists may not understand, but not everyone likes research.

“I understand your case. To quickly increase the number of workshops, I’ll ask if Ilkner can give a teacher. This is the top priority.”

In a word from the priest, a meeting with Gibe Irkner was to be formed.

I decided to talk to Dermuel when I met Gibe Irkner. Borrow witchcraft to prevent eavesdropping and face Dermuel while there are side servings and other escort knights around.

“Dermuel, if it is difficult to meet Brigitte, is it okay to suspend escort work today?”

“… I will work”

“Are you okay? Isn’t that unskilled or not?”

When I asked the name of Brigitte for his face, I asked Dermuel to open his eyes.

“Where is Rosemine, such a word ?! Women’s tea party is scary. Hua”

Although I didn’t know it at the tea party, it’s OK because Darmell is convinced. As I was waiting for Dharmael’s words, Dharmuel opened his mouth with a troubled face.

“There is more regret than unskilled”

“Do you regret it?”

“Because I didn’t think too much, I was ashamed of Brigitte. I regret it.”

The word heard from Darmell’s mouth seemed to be completely different from the simple report heard from the chief priest.

“I asked Ferdinand that the marriage was difficult because they were different, but I’m still not sure. What is difficult?”

“I didn’t know well until I was beaten by my older brother. I didn’t recognize the difference between the upper part and the surroundings.”

Dermuel continued to be an escort knight and intended to live in a noble town even after he married Brigitte. As long as I was scolded and raised, I thought it was natural to keep serving unless I was dismissed.

However, the surroundings are not always the same.

According to Dermuel’s brother, Henrik, the only reason he did not go to Irkner seemed to be a foolish act in which the low-ranking aristocrats themselves gave up the godly luck that could be related to the land-owned middle-class nobility. Apparently not.

“Your older brother was going to beat Miss Brigitte? What a recklessness … Did you think Darmuel could prepare a life that would satisfy a land-owning mid-class noble daughter?” I will be an intermediate noble if I go to Irkner, but if Brigitte is my bride, Brigitte will be a lower noble. ”

Dermuel was a low-class nobleman, so he didn’t think anything about Brigitte becoming a low-class nobleman, but Henrik explained with an example.

If you change from a mid-class aristocrat to a lower-class aristocrat, not only friends who have been associated with each other up to now, but also your family and relatives are all nobles who have been connected. Brigitte has to renew socialism as a low-class nobleman, and a born child is treated as a low-class noble.

“… That’s a heavy burden on Brigitte”

I bite my lips, thinking of a situation where there was a difference in identity with a family that was equal until then. I remember that time when my family whispered in front of me and used polite words to say goodbye to others.

“And Irkuner started out of Brigitte’s engagement, and was harassed by former fiancee, and there were few low-ranking nobles who could serve as a representative to support Irkuner at the time. Gibe Irkner I heard that I was flying around the land, but I didn’t know what it was. “

Darmuel, who did not even go to his parents’ house after going back and forth between the temple and the knight’s dormitory, is a famous story well known to Henrik, a civilian, and Brigitte returned to Ilkner on the occasion of marriage It seems that it was natural to try to support his brother.

“Do you think Miss Brigitte can live as a junior aristocrat in an aristocratic town without being able to easily consult with his family? That said, I realized that I had never thought about how Brigitte’s life would change. “

The escort knight is a proud title, but it is also an overstated position for the lower-ranking knight, Darmuel. In fact, Dermuel is told by me about magic power compression and seems to be scolded for increasing magic power, and there seems to be an opinion that it is better to replace it with an intermediate or advanced knight.

“Because I knew Rosemine from the time of the temple, I’m unlikely to be removed from the escort knight, but only a very limited number of people know about it. I didn’t know Brigitte, so when I got married I thought it was a matter of course. “

Dermuel drooped, saying that it was naturally too different for each.

“… It’s so hard to be different. I thought it would be manageable if I thought they liked each other.”

“Embarrassed, me too. I thought what would happen if even the magic was balanced. I regret that I didn’t have enough thoughts. I’m going to Ilkner while applying for marriage here. I refused to not. ”

…… What! Was it Dermuel who shook it? sorry. I just thought I was swung by Brigitte.

“There will also be people who look good in Dermuel.”

“Rosesmine’s magical power compression has increased the magical power to be able to marry Brigitte, and there are few women of lower aristocrats who are likely to balance magical power, but do you still say that?”

Seen with my eyes, I gently looked away.

“Uh … uh, uh, from now on, there will be some lower class nobility with increased magic power. Young and cute girls will make noise. It’s okay … I’m sure”

“… The partner is too young. By the time the Rosemine ages are in the right age, I’m in the middle of twenty.”

Dharmell is drooping with Kakuun, but I hear that it is not unusual for a nobleman to have that much difference in age. If you do your best, it ’s okay. It’s Dermuel who is working hard.

“By that time, increase your magic, save money and do something with the charm of an adult man … I will cheer you up”

“Is it neglected ?? Could someone introduce me to me like I found a good relationship with Brigitte?”

When asked if I should ask my mother, Dermuel said, “Please do it.” Next time, ask your mother.

And on the day of the meeting with Gibe Irkner, I entered the meeting room with the priest, the side, and the escort knight, including Darmell.

I found that Mr. and Mrs. Gibe Irkner and Mr. and Mrs. Brigitte were together. I wonder why I got married and became a wife. The atmosphere of Brigitte was much softer and feminine than before. I feel relieved that the softly smiling face is happy.

’s only Britte ’s husband, the first person to meet, walked in front of me.

“Lose Mine, please allow me to pray for blessings in a rare encounter with the rigorous selection of Evilive”

“Forgive me”

“My husband Brigitte, my name is Victor, and I am honored to meet you.”

Victor was a gentleman and was a person with an atmosphere of a civilian to see. For Irkuner, who was clearly lacking in civilians, he was a necessary person. Even with Gibe Ilkuner and Brigitte, the atmosphere seems to be neatly organized, so I think it ’s a good fit.

… I’ve found it well. As expected, mother.

I was impressed by the fact that I was looking at Victor to realize that it was Volk who had a writing board behind Gibe Irkner. I wasn’t thinking about meeting the former gray priest Volk at the castle. Volk responded to my gaze with a nostalgic and happy smile.

I couldn’t talk to Volk here, so I moved my eyes to Brigitte.

“I’m waiting for you, Rosemine”

“I am happy that Brigitte looks fine”

“I was disappointed that I couldn’t wait for Rosemine to wake up.”

Brigitte waited only for my awakening, waited for my awakening, and wanted to marry me with my blessing, but my mother suggested that I get married as soon as possible and put a usable hand in Irkner It seems.

It was said that he wanted to make paper as much as possible with Ilkner before starting printing in Haldenzell, as it is better to start the paper industry and open up sales channels as much as possible when there are no rivals.

“I just married, but not just in my newlywed life, but Elvira and the Printemps company prompted me one after another, and Irkner screamed happy.”

Victora relaxes his expression and greets Brigitte.

“When Rosemine wakes up and the workshops are established in various places, the advantage is lost, so we are also focusing on the development of new paper.”

“Thanks to Rosemine’s support and the paper mill, the lower nobility has returned and the territorial management has become much easier. Thank you very much.”

Gibe Irkner and his wife asked me before.

“I would like to send this from Ilkner to Rosemine. This is a new paper. In Ilkner, it was made from Rinphi, a material that is better taken than Forin. Yes, please use this part for research. ”

A stack of thin, thin paper that can be seen through the other side is wrapped in hard paper that is a special product of Irkner so that it does not become messy. I opened it carefully, picked only one and lifted it.

My arms seem to rise while I sleep. The smile of the thin paper finishes me.

If you can make a raw paper with this, you will be able to drastically reduce the price of the raw paper that had previously had to use Trombe paper. Naturally, the price of printing is reduced.

…… Books are a little cheaper! Banzai!

“Thank you. I’ll let you know if it can be used as raw paper in the workshop.”

When I was enjoying the new paper as I rubbed my cheeks, Brigitte called out “Rosemine”.

“I don’t know if this is useful or not, but the paper made from the magic tree Nansave is like a magical tool.”

“… Making paper from magic trees sometimes inherits the characteristics of magic trees. Did you discover anything?”

Because it was difficult to give an example that it would be difficult to burn with Trombe paper, I asked Brigitte with some words.

According to Brigitte, the workshop broke the failed work, simmered it, and made recycled paper. In the meantime, when the Nansave paper was torn in the same way, the nonsave paper that had fallen apart seemed to move to the largest fragment.

“I’m not very familiar with magical tools and materials, but I thought that Rosemine and Ferdinand would come up with something that could come to mind,” I reported. 19459002]

“Let’s buy the paper. Is there anything you’re bringing here now?”

The respondent to Brigitte’s report was the chief priest, whose research fever has not yet cooled down. It is a prompt decision without asking the price.

“I bring about 10 samples for the sake of the sample, but since I am going to pass through the Printemps Chamber of Commerce, I will be able to deliver it in early spring”

“That’s right … The Printemps firm will soon be called by Aub Ehrenfest. At that time, let’s negotiate with the Printemps firm. When the date is decided, I will contact you.”

“I’m smart”

I thought that I couldn’t wait until spring, but Gibe Irkner seems happy to know that Nansave can be sold.

The priest tightened his expression and stared at Gibe Irkner. At the same time, Viktor corrects his position, and Volk regains his writing board and iron brush.

“Gibe Irkner, Rosemine, wakes up and will expand the paper industry to Ehrenfest.”

“I know”

“That’s why I want three or four engineers to teach how to make paper from Irkner.”

“That’s a very difficult request, Ferdinand-sama”

The answer was Victor, not Gibe Irkner. Explain that Ilkner is making paper and is not manpowered for the required amount, and is reluctant to cooperate to increase his rivals.

“Victoria, Irkuner is now with knowledge and technology from Rosemine, and if Rosemine wants to cooperate, he is ready to accept as much as possible. Please tell us more.” 19459002]

“Yes. Did you know that there is an increasing number of Gibe who wants to make a papermaking workshop? In order to expand the printing industry from now on, a large amount of paper will be needed. We have to increase the number of paper mills, as we did for Irkner, we plan to dispatch gray priests from the Plantin Chamber of Commerce and my studio, but there are not enough numbers. ”

Gibe Irkner and Brigitte, who had seen the Rosemine workshop, asked. There is not enough people to dispatch to several lands at once. And you know how long it takes to teach the work.

“The teachers from Irkner only teach in other places how to make paper made of forin. I’m going to go to several places between spring and autumn, but stay in one place for a long time There is no plan, and there is no need to teach others how to make paper. “

priest adds to my words.

“We are looking forward to dealings with the center in the future, and we are putting the highest priority on increasing the number of paper mills. If we make new paper using the materials of each land, we will think about each one. I'm going to get it. Illgner's dominance, which Victor is concerned about, seems to remain unwavering for some time. "

Victor's expression softened to the words of the chief priest.

"I understand how Illgner, who was dispatched by the Gray Priest from Rosemine for a year, was given preferential treatment. Let's cooperate as much as possible for the future Ehrenfest."

Since it is necessary for a person from Printemps to accompany him, we will discuss the details when purchasing the Nansave paper.

...... Benno-san, are you okay?

With that in mind, Damuel, who was escorting at the door, walks to Richarda with a stern look. There seems to have been some message. After hearing Damuel's words, Richard gazed at him lightly and then walked towards the chief priest.

"I'm sorry during the meeting."

"I don't mind. The important story is over."

"It seems that the Knights have contacted me that the Lord of Winter has appeared."

The chief priest stood up with a quick noise in Richard's words, and tension ran to the escort knights other than Damuel.

He recalled the winter Lord's subjugation he knew. The family goes to the battle between the father, the older brother, and the winter lord. If it makes me feel better, I want to give a blessing. I look up at the chief priest.

"Mr. Ferdinand, do you need my blessing?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it, but it helps if you have it."

"Givee Illgner, that's it for this meeting."

"Yes. I can't afford to take any more time. We're sorry."

Mr. and Mrs. Gibe Illgner stand up. Victor tapped Brigitte's shoulder lightly.

"... I have a rugged face, but Brigitte is no longer a knight, right?"

"It seems that I got the illusion because I was surrounded by a familiar face."

Brigitte smiled embarrassed and lonely, as if he was surprised at Victor's words, which he pointed out with a bitter smile.

"I'm sorry not to disturb you. I wish you all the best of luck."

I instinctively call out to Volk's back as he walks with Gibe Illgner and others.

"Folk"

"What is Rosemine?"

Volk looked back with a surprised expression, as he didn't expect to be called out.

"Are you getting along with your wife? Did Volk be happy with Illgner? I was worried about that."

For me, Volk is the first gray priest to be bought elsewhere. It is also expected to be a marriage partner, not as a labor force.

I can't help but wonder what happened to the gray priest who didn't know about marriage or family. Feeling the screaming gaze of the chief priest, I asked, and Volk knelt in front of me.

"I'm working hard with Kaya so that I can talk and give in to each other, rather than having to put up with Rosemine's words. Fortunately, I first learned about the existence of a family. Every time I feel a little happiness every day, I am deeply grateful to Rosemine for showing me the way to happiness. "

Volk's face was proud, not the face of the gray priest who served the Lord, but the face of his father who supported his family.
